"What's it like on Island in the winter?"

We hear this question all the time. And I plan on answering in paint!
Here's a detail from a painting in progress -- the first in a series that I am working on this fall/winter, based around Island life in the off-season.
This one shows an artist friend of mine leaning up against the wall of an old movie theater in Oak Bluffs. I'll be finishing this scene in a week or two, and will post it online, however the rest of the paintings will be kept under wraps until the show in the spring.
I can tell you that the show will be at the Vineyard Haven Public Library, dates to be announced as the time gets nearer.
